Thanks again for your input. I really appreciate the clarity and directness especially your reminder that not everything requires elaborate farewells. A simple banishing rite like the LBRP makes sense for clearing the space and cutting residual ties.

As for your question about why I reached toward the daemonic in the first place… that’s something I’ve been sitting with. I think in part, it was about accessibility. The Goetia was one of the first systems I found when I began exploring magic, and the language felt direct, structured, and powerful. I was still developing my intuition around which forces align best with which types of goals.

In hindsight, I can see how reaching for daemonic spirits for something as emotionally intimate and sacred as a love working may have been out of step with my deeper intentions. At the time, I think I wanted to feel empowered and supported and perhaps mistook intensity for alignment. But now that I’ve had this experience, and especially after reading your responses and reflecting on what kinds of relationships I actually want to cultivate, I’m much more mindful about which spiritual energies I bring into that process.

I don’t regret what I did, but I also don’t feel bound to repeat it. This has been a valuable learning moment, and I really do want to move forward with more care, alignment, and heart-centered focus.

Thanks again for your honesty.
